Several topics between geometric measure theory, singular integrals and harmonic measure
The aim of this minicourse is to present several results that played a crucial role in the development of several fields of modern analysis.
One group of those was obtained by Peter Jones in eighties and, essentially, concerns the L2 boundedness of the Cauchy transform on Lipschitz graphs. This particular result has quite an interesting and rich story, one can say that it began some fifty years before its conception, and then branched into several areas of analysis providing an immense impact in (among other things) PDEs, harmonic measure, harmonic analysis, approximation theory and quite a few others.We are going to talk about one of its parts which concerns the so-called Jones beta numbers and his own proof of the aforementioned L2 boundedness with some extra applications and recent developments. Special attention will be given to proofs and elucidating various arising techniques.
The second group is focused on one of the extremely important counterexamples regarding the boundary values of harmonic functions and 3d version of the Privalov theorem which was given by Wolff around thirty years ago (still, in a sense, the best known result to this day). Here we will also discuss some applications to the harmonic measure properties and a variant of the Beurling circular projection theorem.

修课要求
The listener should be acquainted with basics of real analysis, functional analysis and probability, some knowledge of harmonic functions and Hilbert transform is also recommended. Nevertheless we attempt to present most of the proofs in a self-contained way.

Pavel Mozolyako is an associate professor at St. Petersburg State University. He leads PhD program in mathematics at the department of Mathematics and Computer Science. He got his PhD degree in 2009, at St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences. He was a postdoc at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Bologna, and a visiting professor at Michigan State University. His research considers mostly boundary behaviour of harmonic functions and discrete models in potential theory.
